Thanks Andrew
I kind of felt that it was more blues then anything else but still not too sure. I've redone this song file since the original was done in 1994, and added the organ tracks when I did this version. Love the sound of an organ on a song like this one. Thanks again for listening and for the kind words, they are appreciated.

Thanks Dave,
but awesome might be over stating the case a little. But hey, if that's what you wanna call it, I'll take it and be very, very thankful Dave. I do appreciate you listening and leaving the kind words for me.

I haven't heard anything,
about Booker T in so many year I can't remember when it was. I do remember him from the late 50's and 60's though and he had a very unique sound and style that made him stand out from the crowd.

Thanks for putting Booker t's and my name in the same sentence, it makes a guy feel pretty good. I'd love to hear some of his old stuff, as well as some of the new stuff, if he is making a comeback.

Glad you enjoyed the song and that you left the kind words for me, it is appreciated.

Thanks Rick
Well, being stuck in the 60's might have something to do with that groove. The Odd Couple does see right when it comes to Gary and I because he and I did do some strange music every once in a while.

Glad you enjoyed the song. Thanks again for listening, and the kind words, they are appreciated.

Thanks Dave
I guess the consensus is in, this is blues. Thats good cause now I know what genre to stick it in. Once I get done here I'll go and is that. Thanks for the critique on the song Dave, I appreciate that and the kind words you left for me on it.

Thanks Vic
Glad you like the sound, and the music. The original didn't have that organ part in it like this one does. I added it for the new version using the organ sound from out of that era, layered with a Hammond B3 sound I found.
Thanks again for listening Vic, and the kind words, they are appreciated.

Hey there, honky... I mean Quacky!
Good to hear this clean production from one of the best studio "honkies" around! Er, I mean production mentors. Great, clean sound all around, great control and great organ. For a tune in a minor key, this still produces a happy listen, maybe owing to the clarity.

Hey there Bobby, god to see you here tonight. Thanks for dropping by to listen Bro and leave a comment. I do so appreciate that, as you know. I'm glad you liked the way the song came out, even with the contradiction between the happy and the minor. Seems to work though so who's to say ya can't do that. Hell I do it all the time, but then I'm trapped in those pesky minor keys and can't seem to get out.

Thanks Stan
Okay then Blues it is. Glad you like the tune and the sound of the Organ. The playing was as much luck as skill, but I'll take it that I did good this time. Sometimes I get it right, and sometimes I just get lucky.

Thanks again for listening Stan and for the kind words. I appreciate you dong that.

A great musician, who will be dearly missed
Ed showed us how to live with a big heart, a big sound, and a whole lot of soul. My thoughts are with Ed, friends, and family. Good to listen to this song tonight, and remember a gifted musician.

I've been playing guitar since 1962. Over the years since then, I've also learned to play Bass, Drums, and Keyboards, as well as playing the Guitar. I live in western Arkansas now, and I am retired. I'm just kickin' back with my new found freedom, ... [see more]
